[Sigsti-l] Federal OSTP soliciting ideas for open access (fwd)

[Joe Hourcle]

I know there's quite a few of us on this mailing list who work for groups 
that get government money, so the following might be of interest.
And just in case any of you are behind obnoxious firewalls, the link 
redirects to:

 	http://blog.ostp.gov/2009/12/09/ostp-to-launch-public-forum-on-how-best-to-make-federally-funded-research-available-for-free/

(but the title of the blog post doesn't match the URL text)

Subject: [PAMNET] Federal OSTP soliciting ideas for open access

Hi all,

The Office of Science and Technology Policy is asking for public comment
on what they're calling a 'Public Access Policy.'  There are three comment
periods focusing on three major areas of interest: Implementation
(December 10-20), Features and Technology (December 21-31) and Management
(January 1-7).

I think we all could lend valuable expertise in the formulation of any
future policy in this area.  Read more at the OSTP blog post here
http://tinyurl.com/yg8c2p2  You can also email your comments to
publicaccess at ostp.gov

Thanks,
Michael
